Why does the picture on a tv screen become distorted when a magnet is brought near the screen​

Physics

NemiM [27]3 years ago

When a magnet is brought close to the picture tube, the interaction between the flying electrons and the magnetic field creates a force that throws the electrons off course. Now the electrons are hitting the screen in places they were not intended to strike and the picture becomes distorted.

When a television receives a signal, it first splits off the audio (sound) signal and the picture signal from a carrier wave (which is used to allow the signal to be transmitted over long distances). The audio is sent straight to the speakers to produce sound. The picture signal consists of three elements, red, green and blue. A standard television has three 'electron guns' at the back of the set, one for each colour. Let's start by looking at the red signal. The red signal is fed into one of these 'guns'. The gun produces a beam of electrons that varies in intensity with the strength of the red signal. This beam is fired towards the tv screen. The electron beam starts at the top-left of the screen and magnetic fields are used to 'sweep' this beam across the screen in parallel horizontal lines (if you look closely at a tv screen you can see these lines). UK televisions (PAL) have 625 lines and update the picture 25 times per second, US televisions (NTSC) have 525 lines but update 30 times per second. The back of the tv screen is covered in phosphor 'dots' (pixels) which glow when they are struck by these electrons. The red-signal electron beam is aimed so that it strikes phosphor dots that glow red, emitting photons which the eye can detect. The same process occurs for green and blue; each colour signal goes to one particular electron gun which excites just the dots of that colour, the signal tells the gun how strong it should be which in turn means some dots glow brighter than others. When you sit back from the tv screen, you don't notice the dots nor the flicker, your eye blends the image together to give a clear picture which appears to move. Now to answer the question! A magnet distorts the picture as it distorts the path of electrons flowing from the electron gun towards the screen inside the tv. As electrons are negatively charged particles, their motion is distorted by a magnet. So it is these electrons, not photons, which are distorted by the magnet. On older tvs, damage caused by holding a magnet too close to a tv could be permanent; newer tvs tend to have a demagnetisation process when you switch them on, to ensure that the picture is not permanently distorted. ehehe..

cycling at 13.0 m/s on your new aero carbon fiber bike, how much times would it take a pro cyclist to ride in 120 km? Give your
sp2606 [1]

We have that the time in seconds, minutes, and hours is

t=1.083*10^{-4}s

T_{min}=1.805*10^{-6}min

T_{hours}=3.0083*10^{-8}hours

From the Question we are told that

Velocity v=13.0m/s

Distance d=120 km

Generally the equation for the Time  is mathematically given as

t=\frac{13}{120*10^3}\\\\t=1.083*10^{-4}s

Therefore

T_{min}=1.083*10^{-4}s/60

T_{min}=1.805*10^{-6}min

And

T_{hours}=T_{min}/60

T_{hours}=3.0083*10^{-8}hours

A tennis player serves a tennis ball such that it is moving horizontally when it leaves the racquet. When the ball travels a hor
finlep [7]

Answer:

The initial velocity is 38.46 m/s.

Explanation:

The horizontal distance travel by the tennis ball = 13 m  

The height at which the tennis ball dropped = 56 cm

Now calculate the initial speed of tennis ball.

The vertical velocity is zero.

Below is the calculation. Here, first convert centimetre into kilometre. So, height at which ball dropped is 0.56 km.

v = \sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \times 0.56} = 3.32 m/s \\

t = \frac{3.32}{9.8} = 0.338s \\

Ux \times t = 13 \\

Ux = \frac{13}{0.338} = 38.46 m/s = Initial velocity.

While accelerating at a constant rate from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, a car moves over a distance of 60.0 m. how much time does it ta
Yuri [45]

While accelerating at a constant rate from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, a car moves over a distance of 60.0 m. The time taken by the car will be 4 seconds. the correct answer is option(c).

When acceleration is constant, the rate of change in velocity is also constant. In the absence of any acceleration, velocity remains constant. When acceleration is positive, velocity becomes more significant.

Let a denote acceleration, u denote initial velocity, v denote final velocity, and t denote time.

The equation of motion is stated as,

v = u + at

v² = u² + 2as

A car travels across a distance of 60.0 m while accelerating constantly from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s.

Then the time taken by the car will be,

u = 12 m/s

v = 18 m/s

s = 60 m

Put these in the equation v² = u² + 2as.

18² = 12² + 2 x a x 60

a = 1.5

Then the time will be

18 = 12 + 1.5t

1.5t = 6

t = 4 seconds

Hence, the time taken is 4 s.

The complete question is:

While accelerating at a constant rate from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, a car moves over a distance of 60.0 m. How much time does it take?

1.00 s

2.50 s

4.00 s

4.50 s
